December is approaching, and as the nights draw in you might be starting to get serious about Christmas shopping. It’s also the time of year where everyone’s in need of a bit of pampering. Check out our top picks for beauty and wellbeing gifts, all guaranteed to be 100% vegan friendly.
Skin care
Winter might bring beautiful snow-covered scenery, but it’s also a recipe for chapped lips, cold hands and dry skin. Keeping stocked up on skin care is a must. Weleda’s face care gift set is the perfect protection against the winter winds. Throw in a lip balm set from Fruu to keep your lips soft and soothed. If something a little manlier is called for, the men’s care set from Benecos might be the way to go.
If your gloves aren’t keeping the cold out well enough, your hands might need a little extra attention. The Highland Soap Co’s hand care gift sets come in a variety of scents, from sweet orange & cinnamon to Hebridean seaweed. Each one contains hand wash and lotion in a hand stitched tweed bag.
Bathtime
Give the gift of a soothing bath experience, the perfect way to keep warm this winter and melt away some of that festive stress. Bath bombs always make a great gift. Try Bramley’s rose petal marbles in their charming bauble shaped box, Only The Good Stuff’s trio of aromatherapy based bombs, or Beauty Kitchen’s heart-shaped mini bombs for the special person in your life.
That’s not the only way to liven up a bath. Fikkerts offer a series of natural bath essences, attractively presented in highly giftable bottles. Choose from amber, jasmine or lavender.
Kids
No reason why your kids shouldn’t get in on the self-care fun. Younger children will enjoy the Peppa Pig set from Good Bubble, a collection of bath & body products with soft scents and mild formulas ideal for sensitive skin. Bramley’s Little B range also keeps things gentle, whether it’s a body wash cracker or a gift set full of soothing bathtime products.
If they’re a little bit older, a Green People Clear Skin Goals set might be just the ticket. It’s designed for teens and tweens and includes special acne fighting ingredients.
Wellbeing
Beat the winter blues with some much needed aromatherapy. Tisserand’s essential oil collections can help with various seasonal malaises; whether it’s aiding sleep, reducing stress or balancing mood, there’s bound to be someone in your life who needs it. Or cover all bases with a daily essentials kit.
Neal’s Yard Remedies also offer two appealing gift sets: Me Time Ritual, part of their Women’s Balance range, and Sweet Dreams Ritual, designed to help you drift off to sleep – handy for the excitement of Christmas Eve.
